Cameron Jerrell Newton is a star athlete. The NFL career leader in quarterback rushing touchdowns made a comeback to his former franchise in the 2021 season. After spending as many as 9 years with the Panthers, he went to the Patriots in 2020.
However, he again joined the Panthers in 2021 and everyone expected him to regain his lost glory. It would be fair to say that the season turned out to be quite a disappointment for the Panthers and for Newton. Recently, Cam was seen candidly talking about his personal life on the latest episode of the “Funky Friday” YouTube series.
“She deserved better”: Cam Netwon on why he didn’t tie the knot with Kia Proctor
Cam talked openly about his decision to not get married to the mother of his four children. He claimed that his high-profile job prevented him from tying the knot with Shakia Proctor. “The thing is that person that I was while we were having children together, I couldn’t be the best husband. I wasn’t prepared to be a husband then,” Newton told Brittany Renner.
“I was on temptation island. A football player, young, ‘no’ is not even in my vocabulary. I just found myself in this downward spiral. Did she deserve better? I would humbly say, yes, she did. I was falling deeper into my own selfishness and realizing I gotta be better,” he claimed.
Newton and Proctor have four kids together named Sebastian Newton, Sovereign-Dior Cambella, Camidas Swain Newton, and Cashmere Saint Newton. Cam stated that Proctor supported him immensely through the ups and downs of his career and added that the two share a great relationship even now.
“We just grew apart and we have a great working relationship now and where we have beautiful children and we’re seeing them grow day in and day out,” Newton said “My parents been together for 36 years. I know what marriage looks like: the ups, the downs, the trials, the tribulations. I seen Kia really evolving into a woman where her standards were, ‘I ain’t just no baby mama,’ and when she kept putting pressure on me I was like, ‘I don’t know if this is what I really want,’” Newton shared.
